There were about hall dozen of
them, and they had been off some
where in the country. They were all
piled on a wagon, and as they passed
one of the numerous cottages pretty
woman accidentally turned a white
handkerchief loose There were six
hankerchiefs waving wildly in the
breeze in one instant.
"By Jove, she's pretty. / wonder
who she is? That was meant for me-"
at wasn't 1t was meant for me-"
said every body but a little old man
sitting on the bottom Of the wagon,
hidden from sight.
"Wen," he said, am bet it was not
meant for me-
"Why?"
Because that was my wife"
And dead silence fell oh the pic
mic.

A one-legged beggar, of St, Louis,
became so urgent in his requests for
aid that he was arrested the other day
When the police searched him they
found fifteen tobacco bags in his peck

and each bag contained some money,
The total amount was $71 II.
A Tennessee farmer whose land was
under mortgage and about to be tax

turned up a jug with over $1,000 in
gold and silver in it.

A Word 10 the Welded

Happiness and seIfshness can never
flourish on the same stem; one kills
the other. To be welded happily the
promoters are congeniality and unset
fishness. A good woman will endure
much for her husband, the man for
his wife. A true woman will smile,
cheer and help her husband should
clouds come. Then is the time to
test her character solve the problem,
the object of her matrimony. Men
look for women with a heart, a soul ;
do not let their facial beauty be their
sole attraction rather let it be their
beauty of soul and character that IN
spires your love for them. For with
these there will be no autumn no fad
ing their leaves will be fresh and
beautiful forever.

People Demand PrOtectiOn.---
Patent Medicines.

What are they? AS general thing
they are prescriptions having been
used with great success by old and
well-read Physicians, Thousands of
invalids have been Unexpectedly cured
by their use, and they are the wonder
and dread of Physicians and Medical
Colleges in the U. s.. so much 50, that
Physicians graduating at Medical
Colleges are required to discounte-
nance Proprietary Medicines, as
through them the country doctor
loses his most profitable practice. As
a manufacturer of Proprietary Medi-
cines, DIR. G. G. Green, OF Woodbury.,
N. j., advocates most cordially, in
order to prevent the risk that the
sick and afflicted are liable to, almost
daily by the use of Patent Medicines
put out by inexperienced persons for
aggrandizment only, and the employ
ing OF inexperienced and incompetent
doctors by which almost every village
and town is cursed and men claim
ing to be doctors who had better be
nndertakers, experimenting with their
patients and robbing them of their
money and health for the good OF
the afflicted that our government pro-
tect its people by making laws to reg
ulate the practice of the medicine 10y
better experienced and more thoro-
ughly educated Physicians, and there
| by keep up the honor and credit OF
the profession, also form laws for the
recording OF recipes of Proprietary
Medicines, under examination and de
cision OF experienced Chemists and
| Physicians appointed for that purpose
by the Government, before they are
| licensed for general use He would
most freely place the recipe OF Bos
chee's German Syrup and Green's Au
gust Flower under such laws, had he
the proper protection, and thereby
save the prejudice Of the people
and avoid the competition and imita
ton OF worthless medicines. Copiet

Sore Eyes

The eyes are always In sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of Its condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids infamed and sore, 1t Is
an evidence that the system has become
disordered by Scrofula, for which Ayers
Sarsaparilla is the best known remedy.
ScrOfula, which produced painful In
nammation in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for a number of years. By the
ADVICE OF physician commenced taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine short time was completely
Cured
My eyes are now in a splendid condition,
and / am as well and strong as ever
Mrs. William Gage, Concord, N. H.
For number of years / was troubled
with humor in my eyes, and was unable
to obtain any relief until l commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medicine
has effected q complete cure, and believe
It to be the best of blood purifiers. -
Z. Il. Upton, Nashua, N. ii.
From childhood, and until within few
months, have been afflicted with Weak
and Sore Eyes. l have used for these
complaints, with beneficial results, Ayers
Sarsaparilla, and consider it great blood
purifier = Mrs. G. Phillips, Glover, VT.
l suffered for year with inflamma.
ton In my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the ball, depriving me of sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, to no purpose, l was finally
induced to use Ayers Sarsaparilla, and,
BY Taking
three bottles of this medicine, have been
entirely cured. My sight has been re-
stored, and there is no sign of infamma-
ton, sore, or ulcer in my eye. - Kendall
T. Bowen, Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio.
My daughter, ten years old, was afflicted
with ScrofulOus Sore Eyes. During the
last two years she never saw light of any
kind. Physicians of the highest standing
eXerted their skill, but with no permanent
success. On the recommendation of
friend purchased bottle of Ayers Sar-
saparila, which my daughter commenced
taking. Before she had used the third
bottle her sight was restored, and she can
now look steadily at brilliant light with
out pain. Her cure is complete. w. E.

A Di~couraging statement.

A Paris cable dispatch says: DR..
Oscar D1nz, who has Just returned
from a prolonged tour of exploration
In Africa, undertaken on behalf of
the King of the Belgians, has inu
cluded in his report to the latter
some very interesting remarks COM
cerning missionary work in Africa.
They are, however, far from encour-
aging. He renders tull Justice to
the good intentions of the mission4
aries and to the motives which i'm.
pei the Scottish and London socie-
ties to send them out, but he asserts
that they Waste large sums of money
for very small results. Negroes who
are taught by theem to read and
write mostly become unfit tor any
manual occupation. They consider
themselves as good as the white
man, think it undignifed to toll,
and when not engaged in holding
large and noisy prayer-meetings, at
which every man want 10 Aslas his
turn at preaching, they foam about
begging, and take it very i'll if they
cannot live altogether on doles from
their white fellow-Christians. The
factories have learned to
beware of these men, and will not
give them employment. So most
of them end by relapsing into bar
barism and vagabondage, their last
state being worse than their first, as
the renegade native convert almost
always becomes criminal.

How MEN AkR M1srAKEN.

We made remark Yesterday on
the blindness of certaiu men to the
future of Asheville. tt ey have been
rudely aroused from their dream of
fancied sagacity by the brilliancy
of development not believed possip
BILE in easy going North Carolina.
AshevilIe is not alone in emerging
from the crysalis state and breaking
the crust of the cerements of old
habits.
We remember some year ago
not more than fifteen-Durham was
an insignificant railroad station
with the dullest hope possible for
the future A body Of land 130 acres
or more, now comprised in its pres
ent limits, was on the market, at
public vendue, under administers
tors sale. The same was bid off to
a purchaser of small means, but
with some glimmer of enterprise,
for $1,000 But after the sale he was
alarmed at his boldness and then
went to consult old friel lds, gentle>
men prominent in influence, and re-
spected for Judgment. Both agreed
he had done a rash thing and he
straightway went, and "rued" his
bargain. Five years afterwards a
son of the same gentleman, wishing
to establish a tobacco warehouse,
had to pay $4,000 for two acres CONS
prised in the original tract of 130
acres which his father had bid in at
$1,000. Sixteen years ago here in
Asheville a body of land in the cor
porate limits was offered at So an
acre and no taker. Now the same
is sold in 100 foot front lots at
$1,000 or $500 each.
And thus fortune is missed.

IFor the Asheyilfe CITIZEN.
OUR wEAYERYILLE LETTER.
FARM IMPROVEMENTS. sc.

Editors Citizen ,-In the first place be-
fore 1 forget it in writing let me thank
you for Uery able editorial lately in the
CITIZEN upon the subject of agriculture.
1t was so good and SO much TO the point
that l regret, in the interest of farmers,
that you cannot afford to keep it in your
columns as standing matter. It is worth
more than all the political matter ynu
have published in the past Six months. /
regret that the old Colonel, of your staff,
has not favored us lately with an essay
on the culture of grapes. Speaking of
grapes puts me in mind to say that our
old and reliable scotsman, DR.. Vandiver,
has been doing good work by persuad-
ing everybody to set out grape vines and
set out pear trees. He has sold thous-
ands of the grape vines and brndreds OF
the pear trees, and he has worked with a
view to induce our farmers to give more
attention to the culture of higher grade
of fruit. Soon our hills and slopes will
equal Italy and Switzerland ], Fr5sit bear
ing vines and trees. Why should not the
presence of varied and rich fruit be an
evidence of advanced civilization as we'll
ds that of music and flowers. I think il
is, and as fully conducive to our whole.
sOme." do not know what has inCited
our people in the matter of haying better
pastures and meadows, but the fact is the
people seem to have grass on the brain
Every body is sowing clover, orchard
grass and timothy seed. Capt Weaver
has in SO acres on his home farm, and
intends to devote nearly all his noun
tain land to clover and orchard grass.
The craze, and good one it is, seems to
prevail generally. We viii soon be able
to rule the bAlsd hay of other States out
of Asheville, and as to fruit we expect.
when the railroad is completed from
Asheyiile to Rutherfordton, to furnish
Wilmington and coast cities, not only
with fruit and baled hay, but with Dr.
Vandiver's celebrated mon.tain cabbage.
The college is doing well-the faculty is
able and painstaking, and the students
do credit to the institution. Preparations
are being made at the st. Clair hotel for
a go9dly number of guests this summer.
1t is quiet retreat for those who study
economy and desire to stay the whole
season without an empty exchequer
when they get ready to go home. Our
ceramic factory is f1ourishing and will be
greatly enlarged at once. Byerly gives
US the time of day with his steam whistle
and sometimes scares a countryman's
horse. We have six clergymen located
here, all good and clever gentlemen, but
there is Cne-a new comer-Who is a
regular brick. He is a worEer full of
snap and vim, and is a very valuable
acquisition. Being somewhat doubtful of
the patience of your Mr.. Stone, the univ
ersal secretary, bring this to close.
Truly yours, CHRoMo.
